Congratulations to Brianne and Kyle who got married last weekend at The Sirata on St. Pete Beach! I loved getting to know these two over the past year through their engagement session and also keeping up with them on social media. One of my favorite parts of being a photographer {especially a wedding photographer} is really forming relationships with my couples - I love the friendships that I get to make! :) These two were incredibly patient and definitely went with the flow on their wedding day...it rained the whole day {the WHOLE day}...so adjustments had to be made. We got a bit creative with some formals under an umbrella, carried Brianne's dress and veil very high off the ground every where we walked, and photographed our bridal party formals in the reception hall before letting guests in. We are so thankful Brianne and Kyle trusted us to take care of them on their wedding day! Now I must admit I LOVE taking detail photos at weddings, but this one I especially had fun with! I wanted to bring The Sirata lobby furniture home with me {see below} and the centerpieces were so fun! A special shout out goes to Bling Bling Bloom who provided amazing floral arrangements and Georgia Kaden who killed it {as usual} on makeup! So happy for you guys!

How did I become a PHOTOGRAPHER!?!

Once upon a time.....

Well here is the real story! As a young gal {about 17 years old} I wanted nothing more than to be a fashion model {yes, at 5 foot, 5 inches}. I studied all things modeling and did photo shoot after photo shoot for several years. Eventually I realized I wanted the camera in my hands and after a few years of being a "hobbyist photographer" I decided it was time for me to really give it a go. My business was officially born in 2013 and I haven't looked back since! I strive to learn more every day and believe I will never stop learning. The process has been not only fun but also stressful as I weave my way in and out of "how to run a successful business!" I wasn't sure what I signed up for but I wouldn't change it for the world!
